We have studied the temporal bones of 4 deceased donors, individuals one with cochlear saccular degeneration, another with Mondini dysplasia, another with an ossification of the basal turn of the cochlea and the round window, post meningitis and the fourth who was implanted 10 years before. The indications and contraindications for cochlear implant placement are discussed.
